I have too many words right now.
I'll start from when I first joined a top-ish clan, Bound To Black. Even then there were some politics and clan rivalries, even if it was just for jest. Our leader left the clan momentarily for a medal with a top clan, but when he came back the clan had already begun crumbling. It was about that time I joined WLGang, a very promising clan. WLGang was a good clan because of it’s community and member-derived descisions.
But be wary of top clans, you may want to join them for their rewards, but they are taxing. Most players who have entered the clans do not leave the same. In a top clan, you have all eyes on you. Top clans are pressured by the community to do things that they would not do before, and the individual is affected by this choice. As well as, for a top clan to stay top, they have to focus on purely AP, which turns the players into mindless arena machines.
Each top clan has their own politics, whether kept private or public. In fact, WLGang has an archive of some of the politic's they've had to deal with before.  I do not want to be a part of clan politics any more, so I will have to retire from WLGang and all top clans,

You can literally see this happening as previously unknown people and such are suddenly in the upper ranks. There's a YouTube vid on how to do it and it's been spelled out step by step.
This and the recent hacks/cheats have made me not even care about ranking up anymore. Rank 1? Meaningless. Medals? Meaningless. Thanks, a-holes!

We all want top clan rewards but don’t realize what it takes to be in one beyond just being able to rank high.
 
the game should bring you joy. The time you spend thinking about the game should be about building and strategy not pressure from the clan. 
 
life is too short and full of enough stress. Do what you need to in order to spend your time playing and thinking about the game a joyful experience!

This is difficult to answer all in one post, but here's my reply:
First, I get it, you're burned out.  Sorry that happened to you.  Yeah, top clans are taxing.  But there are some problems I'd like to address.  I am not pointing a finger at you or anyone, but here's my 2 cents.
Sub-point to #1, I find it a waste of time to play any game more than one hour a day.  Do I?  Yes, sometimes I do, for the sake of my clan, and my allies while I was in Reign.  (I was only there 3 weeks to learn.  I don't promote myself over my clanmates.)
Sub-point to #1, this game gets monotonous real quick.  Alex has done things to try to break up the monotony, like arena pads and such, but yeah, the game is monotonous.  A game like, say, Borderlands 3, has a lot more variety.  That's just how things are right now.  (I am not dissing SM so much as I am saying we need SM 3.)
Second point, saying WLGang is by far the best clan, that's not scientific and you can't measure it.  How do you know which clan is best?  And how can a clan be the best for everyone?  And what's up with saying WLGang's hands are "relatively clean"?  Do you know other clans or only what WLGang members told you?  Starting a moral statement like this on a game like SM, with how rampant boosting is, even among the "relatively clean" clans, is like one pig in a mud puddle claiming to be more clean than the pig that's next to him in the same mud puddle.  I get it, you like WLGang, and I'm not here to change your mind.  But that's the problem with boosting: now that everyone's painted themselves into a corner with boosting, which is the opposite of being chivalrous, now "everyone's doing it" and no one wants to be the first clan to stop doing it.  I would imagine there are very few clans that don't boost within the top 50 clans.  And then of course there's the hacking thing: tabbing was only recently fixed, and some of the top clans were engaging in tabbing, or so I hear.  But of course, ban waves, etc.
And yes, top clans are taxing.  But with all due respect, compared to the other games on the market, it's like people are spending hours fighting over who gets to be the captain of a ship that's not in the top 10.  I am not dissing SM, but it's not the top game out there, and a fair and balanced check versus the 8 or so factors that make a game great reveals that SM is rather lacking.  Don't get me wrong, I offered to help with some of these to make SM better, but oh well.  *shrug*
As for top clans being pressured by the community: pressured to do what?  To be top clan?  Screw that.  They should exist to be chivalrous and fair, a community of soldiers out there trying to do their best.  Pressured to get rewards?  Screw that, that's the type of thinking that fuels people trying to cheat or boost their way to the top.  We are what we do.  Those who do things that are not chivalrous make themselves a reputation.  I'm not jealous of their position.  I'm not saying WLGang is hacking or cheating, but I'm not saying they aren't.  I'm not here to take sides.  I'm here to point out that clans have become what their leadership and their members wanted to be.
As for how clans become top clan in this game, sure, maybe that can be addressed.  Maybe the focus should be on being involved rather than just tons of AP.  But at the end of the day, the problem may also become that there is not another way to judge the clans in terms of top clan.  What else is there?  Doing community service and mailing signed affidavits to Alex?  Heck no.  I think the current SM system might overly reward people who reach top rank and stay there (i.e. aren't involved, but just do enough to get rank 3 or higher).  But how else are we going to do this?
As for clan politics, I'm surprised clan politics are even a thing on this game.  I'm sorry, but I spent as much on this game as a refurbished PS4 with Borderlands 3.  Which made me question why I spent so much in the first place.  Not dissing SM, and I'm not trying to discourage people from spending money on SM.  But at the end of the day, I felt like this was not cost effective.  So why is there even clan politics?  To me it's like people fighting to be the captain of a small boat that has a small hole in it.  First off, SM is a "small boat" among yachts like GTA, Payday, BL3, and others.  Second, it has a small hole: it can be maintained, but I don't think SM 2 (which is what we're playing basically: reloaded) has much of a future.  I am not saying the franchise is bad: we can make SM 3 and continue this game's legacy, sure.  But flash (or action script) isn't going to last forever.  And no game lasts forever, either.
So I'm trying to encourage you.  Don't fixate on SM.  Take a break.  Get some sun.  Find a clan that's more about people than about winning.
EDIT: also, in Alex's defense, making a game that is perfectly balanced is VERY DIFFICULT.  Even games that get close to balance among player classes like TF2 and BL3 are constantly putting out hotfixes to tweak stuff.
EDIT2: to be fair, even if SM2 (SM right now) is a small beat up boat with a hole in it, we CAN keep bailing the water out and row the boat towards the solution (i.e. SM3).

Top clan or non, they all same Atu. Every clan have their own skeletons in closet. Full freedom from this "drama" can be obtained  only not being connected with any of those

Flexing....

 
 
 

It will be on the side where activity is. Seems like no one has one today.

They know me in my main acct JamAnime, yet most don't recognize my 2nd acct. Some might know it, yet I doubt many remember.

Oh boy oh boy its a!-
 
Crappy E-L
 
We should call crappy legendaries fast food because thats how fast they are used to make a mythical item.

It seems like its different for all. lol....

From my experience with this, my copilot had to do a small list of things to ‘activate’ this ability on my account. And now I can watch up 1 ad every 15 mins, which equals almost 100 a day. 
We used it fully for about a week, but like others say, is incredibly time wasting, and we ran out of motivation to do that.

bring back el metre and the whole shebang

Я знаю, что это очень сложно принять, но никто не может это остановить ...
лучшие пожелания тебе..😭
я мог бы сказать это, но ... думаю, уже слишком поздно

i would just ban every mythable item
 
return to goat

So, I've seen some esports competition and I wonder if the rulesets can be set in a competition between Super Mechs players, here's the details of the ruleset I've come up with:
· each round consisting of 2 contestants doing a 1v1, first to 2 wins the round
· before each round, the 2 contestants ban 3 parts which both the contestant himself and his opponent can't use (example: I vs zero, and if I ban valiant malice and oemp then both me and him can't use any of the parts in our mechs) (includes mods)
· After each match within a round both contestants can change at most 3 parts on their mechs, they still can't use banned parts
That is the basics. Keep in mind this may not be very well developed so feel free to give critics and perfect the system so it can apply to tournaments and give players a chance to compete fairly.
